2Co 2:1 So I decided not to return to you myself and cause more sorrow.
2Co 2:2 After all, if I make you sad, who will cheer me up, if not those I would be making sad?
2Co 2:3 And this is why I wrote to you, so that I wouldn’t have to come and be saddened by those I should have been celebrating with. But I am confident in all of you, who are my happiness.
2Co 2:4 I wrote to you with a very heavy heart and through many tears, not to make you sad but so that you will know the abounding love I have for you.
2Co 2:5 Yet if that person has caused sorrow, it wasn’t just me they made sad but all of you— and I’m not exaggerating.
2Co 2:6 The discipline administered by the majority of you was enough for him.
2Co 2:7 So now, turn around and show him mercy and consolation, so that he will not be consumed by extreme sorrow.
2Co 2:8 Therefore I plead with you to affirm him in love.
2Co 2:9 Now I’m also writing this to test you and see whether or not you are paying attention to everything I told you.
2Co 2:10 If you have granted him mercy then so have I, for whatever there was to grant, I did so through you in the presence of the Anointed.
2Co 2:11 This way the Adversary will have no way to stake a false claim on us, for we are not ignorant of his scheming.
2Co 2:12 When I arrived in Troas the Master opened a door for me for the Gospel of the Anointed.
2Co 2:13 But I had no relief in my spirit because I could not find my brother Titus, so I left them and went to Macedonia.
2Co 2:14 Now thank God, the one who always grants us victory with the Anointed! He spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him through us everywhere,
2Co 2:15 for we are the fragrance of God— both to those who are being saved and those who are being destroyed.
2Co 2:16 To the latter we are the stench of impending death, but to the former we are the fragrance of promised life. But who is up to the task?
2Co 2:17 For we are not like most people who peddle the Word of God, but instead we are sincere because we speak of God and from God with the Anointed.

2Co 2:1 εκρινα δε εμαυτω τουτο το μη παλιν εν λυπη προς ὑμας ελθειν
2Co 2:2 ει. γαρ εγω λυπω ὑμας και τις ὁ ευφραινων με ει. μη ὁ λυπουμενος εξ εμου
2Co 2:3 και εγραψα τουτο αυτο ἱνα μη ελθων λυπην σχω αφ᾽ ὡν εδει με χαιρειν πεποιθως επι παντας ὑμας ὁτι ἡ εμη χαρα παντων ὑμων εστιν
2Co 2:4 εκ γαρ πολλης θλιψεως και συνοχης καρδιας εγραψα ὑμιν δια πολλων δακρυων ουχ ἱνα λυπηθητε αλλα την αγαπην ἱνα γνωτε ἡν εχω περισσοτερως εις ὑμας
2Co 2:5 ει. δε τις λελυπηκεν ουκ εμε λελυπηκεν αλλα απο μερους ἱνα μη επιβαρω παντας ὑμας
2Co 2:6 ἱκανον τω τοιουτω ἡ επιτιμια αὑτη ἡ ὑπο των πλειονων
2Co 2:7 ὡστε τουναντιον μαλλον ὑμας χαρισασθαι και παρακαλεσαι μη πως τη περισσοτερα λυπη καταποθη ὁ τοιουτος
2Co 2:8 διο παρακαλω ὑμας κυρωσαι εις αυτον αγαπην
2Co 2:9 εις τουτο γαρ και εγραψα ἱνα γνω την δοκιμην ὑμων ει. εις παντα ὑπηκοοι εστε
2Co 2:10 ὡ δε τι χαριζεσθε καγω και γαρ εγω ὁ κεχαρισμαι ει. τι κεχαρισμαι δι᾽ ὑμας εν προσωπω χριστου
2Co 2:11 ἱνα μη πλεονεκτηθωμεν ὑπο του σατανα ου γαρ αυτου τα νοηματα αγνοουμεν
2Co 2:12 ελθων δε εις την τρωαδα εις το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και θυρας μοι ανεωγμενης εν κυριω
2Co 2:13 ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν τω πνευματι μου τω μη εὑρειν με τιτον τον αδελφον μου αλλα αποταξαμενος αυτοις εξηλθον εις μακεδονιαν
2Co 2:14 τω δε θεω χαρις τω παντοτε θριαμβευοντι ἡμας εν τω χριστω και την οσμην της γνωσεως αυτου φανερουντι δι᾽ ἡμων εν παντι τοπω
2Co 2:15 ὁτι χριστου ευωδια εσμεν τω θεω εν τοις σωζομενοις και εν τοις απολλυμενοις
2Co 2:16 οἱς μεν οσμη εκ θανατου εις θανατον οἱς δε οσμη εκ ζωης εις ζωην και προς ταυτα τις ἱκανος
2Co 2:17 ου γαρ εσμεν ὡς οἱ λοιποι καπηλευοντες τον λογον του θεου αλλ᾽ ὡς εξ ειλικρινειας αλλ᾽ ὡς εκ θεου κατεναντι θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν
